Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.

The new ECHA CHEM database has been released by ECHA, and it now contains all REACH registration data. There are more details on the transition of ECHA's published data to ECHA CHEM here.

Reference
Endpoint:
phototransformation in air
Type of information:
(Q)SAR
Remarks:
estimated by calculation
Adequacy of study:
supporting study
Study period:
2016
Reliability:
2 (reliable with restrictions)
Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
other: US EPA Method
Justification for type of information:
SOFTWARE:
US EPA. Estimation Programs Interface Suite (EpiSuite) v4.11

MODEL (incl. version number):
AOPWIN v1.92

SMILES OR OTHER IDENTIFIERS USED AS INPUT FOR THE MODEL:
COC(=O)CCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCC(=O)OC

ADEQUACY OF THE RESULT:
Results considered sufficient as supporting information in e-fate assessment.
Qualifier:
no guideline followed
Principles of method if other than guideline:
AOPWIN estimates the rate constant for the atmospheric, gas-phase reaction between photochemically produced hydroxyl radicals and organic chemicals. It also estimates the rate constant for the gas-phase reaction between ozone and olefinic/acetylenic compounds. The rate constants estimated by the program are then used to calculate atmospheric half-lives for organic compounds based upon average atmospheric concentrations of hydroxyl radicals and ozone.
The estimation methods are based upon the structure-activity relationship (SAR) methods and are described in Meylan, W.M. and Howard, P.H. 1993. Computer estimation of the atmospheric gas-phase reaction rate of organic compounds with hydroxyl radicals and ozone. Chemosphere 26: 2293-99.
GLP compliance:
no
Estimation method (if used):
AOPWIN v1.92 Computer Model
DT50:
6.1 h

OVERALL OH Rate Constant: 20.9301 E-12 cm3/molecule-sec

HALF-LIFE: 0.511 Days (12-hr day; 1.5E6 OH/cm3)

HALF-LIFE: 6.132 Hrs

Conclusions:
Using the standard model within EPISuite v4.11 (AOPWIN v1.92), the hydroxyl radical-mediated atmospheric photo-oxidation half-life of octadecanedioic acid, 1,18-dimethyl ester (ODDAME) that volatilizes into air is predicted to be 6.1 hours. The predicted overall OH Rate Constant is 20.9301 E-12 cm3/molecule-sec.
